Coconut Macaroons

December 21st, 2009

These Coconut Macaroons are really easy to make and are usually eaten at Christmas time here in Norway. They are delicious while they are still warm and have a crispy coating and a soft and chewy center.

Try dipping (half) these macaroons in melted chocolate and allow to set in the fridge, yummy!
